Boys will be... unpredictable!

Just when you think your children can't surprise you, they do. We were having a typical dinner tonight, going through our family dinner question- "what was the best part of your day" Each of the boys had their turn answering; and since the mood was fairly pleasant tonight Rex and I decided to try and have some adult conversation while the kids finished their spaghetti- cooked by big brother Shayne who had already excused himself from the table. It had been a pretty good day- no potty accidents at school, no melt-downs, to my knowledge no notes home from the pre-school teachers telling us what we know already about our boys' behaviors. Then, we noticed that Isaiah had a strange look on his face. It was is same time Elijah proclaimed, oooh, Isaiah don't... and then it happened! Isaiah pee-peed across the dinner table. Rex and I was not sure it really happened at first- we looked at each other in shock. The only person more shocked was Isaiah. I would love to know what was going through that little brain of his. We decided it was okay to laugh- only after he left the room to take care of buisness in the privacy of our bathroom. What do you do in situations like this? Other than the obvious- teaching your 3 year old that it isn't okay to pee-pee at the table; you buy new butter :)

My family

5 +

I'm Robin- I'm a simple girl from Tennessee who loves Jesus. I'm blessed to be a wife, mom, grandmother and a Marketing professional --- juggling it all and writing about it here.

I married the love of my life in 1986. Rex is my rock and my friend and I can't imagine doing this life without him.

1+1=2

We dreamed of a big family (wanted 12) but God had a different plan. Struggling with infertility, we became foster parents in hopes of adopting. It was our plan, not God's and we said never again. After 8 years of infertility Shayne was conceived. And God showed us that He gives us good gifts, more than we asked for and better than we could ever have imagined.

2+1=3

We still had a void in our hearts. So in obedience, doing it God's way this time we opened our hearts and home to foster parenting. We have had a few children come and go- none without leaving an imprint on our lives forever. Nothing could have prepared us for meeting our youngest sons in the ER parking lot on 10/23/06, with no idea how our lives would forever be changed. With their adoptions finally legal on November 21, 2009 we became five.

3+2=5

And that was the beginning- Emily and Kendall came into our lives and family in 2014 , and we grew by one when sweet Penelope was born in 2015 and our first grandson, Silas joined our family in January 2017.

5+4=9

Sometimes we let our crazy hang out. Always, we love loud. Different than what I imagined as a little girl but trusting God that it isn't supposed to be any other way.
